He's ok ,but he got whupped by Pac before he lost to Margacheato.
How is he a challenge to PBF?

1. Cotto lost to Pac after he had lost to Margacheato. The same Margacheato who hasn't done ish since being caught. The same Margacheato that got whooped by Sugar Shane before he ever fought Manny. The same Sugar Shane that got beat by Cotto.
2. Is there anyone in the world who is a challenge toPBF besides Manny? Since we can't get that, we have to settle for this.
3. The fight is at 154. That's a big help to Cotto who has looked more like his "old" self at that weight. Not saying he will or has any chance against PBF, but I applaud PBF for fighting him at Cotto's weight.
4. I'd prefer it PBF fought King Serg at 154. I've always said that. But PBF is all about making money and Cotto is the biggest name in Boxing after PBF/Manny.

Not you too Chaz. I know all the UFC fan's think this.

But somebody ALWAYS comes along and is the big name of boxing.

Ali/Frazier/Foreman to Sugar Ray/Hagler/Hearns to Tyson/Lewis/Holyfield to Roy Jones/Hopkins to DLH/Trinidad to Floyd/Manny.

As an MMA fan, I don't think boxing will die after Floyd and Manny leave. I'm over Floyd and Manny, as a matter of fact. I'll still watch their fights, but it won't be that big of a deal to me unless they're fighting each other. Canelo is the future.

I'm just bitter PBF isn't fighting Pac or King Serg.

Cotto hasn't done anything noteworthy since squeaking out a win over Mosley like half a decade ago. Floyd by wiiiiiiiiiiiiide UD.

I would say Floyd by late stoppage but he'll probably just let him off the hook like he did Marquez and coast along for the full 12.
